Interior designers reveal how they use mathematics to bring harmony to a space.

Mathematicians say knots cannot exist in four-dimensional space because the extra dimension allows a rope to move around itself and untangle, revealing surprising insights into geometry and topology.

You have lots of ways of thinking about space. Some of these ways help you to judge the relative location of things over very large distances. For example, you can easily judge that New York City is ...

Recent theoretical advances have underscored the significance of momentum space geometry in the realm of relativistic physics. Traditional notions of flat momentum space are being re-evaluated in ...

What laws govern how chemicals pass through filters? How do droplets of oil move through layers of stone? How do blood cells travel through a living organism? A team of researchers led by the ...

Differential geometry is the study of space geometry. Multiple natural phenomena, from universal expansion to thermal expansion and contraction, can come down to spatial evolution. The two core ...

High-dimensional spheres can have a much wider variety of structures than mathematicians thought possible. If you’ve ever been stuck in traffic on a rainy afternoon, you’ve probably watched raindrops ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

The SpaceMath@NASA mathematics resource for teachers and students recently achieved a landmark number of downloads. On Feb. 23, 2011, a visitor downloaded the 3 millionth mathematics problem set from ...
